Chapter 38 Recruitment Situation in the Village
[Gaining Recognition: Companions +2!]
Rogge opened his attribute panel and saw that a new [Companion] section had been added!
Gold and Virgil are listed in the companion column!
"companion!"
It's finally open!
Rogge was excited. The three met in the wilderness, faced bandits together, and traveled a long and arduous journey to Broken Amber Village.
From initially testing each other and sticking together for warmth, to now sharing meals together.
Roger always demanded of himself to maintain sincerity. He would never lie about things that were unspeakable, and he was even willing to expose his back to the other party...
Unexpectedly, this simple stewed mutton meal melted away the last line of defense in Virgil and his companion's hearts!
Rogge suppressed his excitement and checked the two people's data in detail:
Virgil
[Level: 15]
[Attributes: Strength 12, Agility 10, Constitution 11, Intelligence 8, Charisma 14]
【Skill:
Iron Bones 0+
Strong Strike 0+
Running 0+
Coach 0+
Current skill points: 15
[Combat Power: 517 (Tier 2!)]
[Proficiency in one-handed, two-handed, and polearms: 150]
[Equipment: Casual clothing is not included in armor statistics!]
Overall Armor Value: 1
[Weapon: None]
Note: All skills provide additional boosts to individual combat power, resulting in significant increases. Please focus on developing these skills!
Note: Any skill can be developed through training, depending on individual talent! (The core difference in developing a skill is whether you "know" it or not; the difference in skill strength lies in whether you "only know" it or not!)
Note: This companion's skills can be managed! Calculate their rank and grant 15 additional skill points!
This companion possesses the following special skills: "Iron Bones," "Power Strike," "Running," and "Coach," which can be learned (and have points allocated)!
Note: Add no more than 1/3 of the attribute value!
Note: All skill point allocation only unlocks the skill cap and growth path, and cannot immediately produce a qualitative change. Targeted training in the short term is required to achieve improvement!
……
Rogge understood.
After understanding the situation, he was able to allocate "skill" points to the two of them!
Through the panel, Rogge realized that God and Virgil were not without skills and talents!
They had never received even the most basic training, and all their combat talent points were locked at zero, so their great talents were wasted and completely buried.
Take Virgil for example. He has four special talents: "Iron Bones", "Strong Strike", "Running", and "Coach". However, he usually doesn't eat enough or train much, so these talents are dormant.
Everyone has their own talents, strengths, and skills, but most ordinary people never know what they are good at throughout their lives.
They spend their whole lives working on the land and in the mountains. Even if they have talent, they can only use it for farming and hunting to make a living.
Now, what Rogge holds in his hand is the key to directly unlocking skill talents!
Virgil now has fifteen skill points!
After some thought, and having a plan for allocating his skill points, Rogge completed the allocation without hesitation:
Iron Bones 4 points, Strong Strike 4 points, Running 3 points, Coach 2 points.
Iron Bones can directly enhance physical fitness and resistance to impact.
A powerful strike can increase damage output!
"Running" is related to personal movement speed and can even improve reaction speed to a certain extent. Roger has also put points into it to the current maximum of three.
Coaching skills are exactly what the team needs right now.
The higher his coaching value, the stronger his ability to impart combat skills, experience, and techniques to others, which is exactly what Roger needs right now.
After using up all skill points, there are two skill points left!
Rogge saved it for future use!
Rogue knew very well that adding points only raised the skill's growth ceiling.
The most direct way Roger could think of to cultivate these skills in themselves was to feed them meat!
Eat your fill and eat well!
With extraordinary physical training, it won't be long before Virgil and his companion undergo a tremendous transformation in strength once their skill points are fully utilized!
……
In his excitement, Rogge continued to check God's attributes:
[Gold]
[Level: 15]
[Attributes: Strength 14, Agility 9, Constitution 11, Intelligence 7, Charisma 13]
【Skill:
Iron Bones 0+
Strong Strike 0+
Running 0+
Coach 0+
Tracking and Hunting 0+
Current skill points: 15
[Combat Power: 533 (Tier 2!)]
[Proficiency in one-handed, two-handed, and polearms: 150]
[Equipment: Casual clothing is not included in armor statistics!]
Overall Armor Value: 1
[Weapon: None]
……
Gold's attributes are almost identical to Virgil's, but his combat strength is slightly higher.
Godby Virgil has an additional talent called "Tracking and Hunting," which is crucial for wilderness survival.
Rogge followed suit, adding points to God's core combat skills but leaving his "coach" skill untouched.
For now, Virgil has enough to handle two coaching roles.
After finishing all this, Roger slowly exhaled. He looked up at God and Virgil, who were still busy, and felt a sense of peace he had never felt before.
Previously, Rogge and Virgil were more like collaborators sticking together for warmth in a chaotic world. They had a tacit understanding, but lacked an unbreakable bond.
Now, Rogge has finally found his "companion"!
Trustworthy companions; as long as he proceeds steadily, these two will be his strongest support on this cruel continent.
……
As the sun gradually dipped westward, its afterglow spilled across the blacksmith's shop doorway.
Roger turned around and took out the snow-white little snowy owl from the inner room. This little guy was extremely active at night, but slept all morning during the day.
The wound on its wing seems to have healed a bit.
Roger tore off a small piece of tender mutton that he had deliberately reserved and fed it to the little snowy owl. The little snowy owl immediately grabbed it and swallowed it in a few bites.
……
The first batch of villagers who ordered longswords from the shop came one after another to pay. Some carried heavy money bags, some herded sheep, and some carried smoked fish.
After working for most of the hour, the villagers finally dispersed.
The three sat around the table, staring blankly at their harvest.
Even the first four wealthy families who made full payment couldn't raise 100 silver dinars in a short time. Some offered goods as payment, while the last three only paid a deposit...
After taking stock, in addition to the six old sheep, there were also three large baskets of smoked fish.
Three large baskets of smoked fish, Virgil checked them, and they were all top-quality, unspoiled fish!
That should be enough to feed them for a while!
In addition, there were two coarse cloth bags, one large and one small.
Inside the large bag were more than four thousand "Kavara copper coins"!
As the most commonly used basic currency among the common people, these copper coins had long been worn dull and faded from countless circulations, but this did not affect the value judgment of Rogge and others.
These coins are equivalent to forty silver dinars!
The small bag contained nearly four hundred silver dinars!
The silver dinar, as the core standard currency for trade across the continent, is the only settlement currency commonly recognized by all countries. Even merchants from hostile nations recognize the standard silver dinar.
Upon opening the bag, Gold and Virgil peered into the opening, their eyes brimming with undisguised surprise and awe.
This small bag of silver dinars is enough for them to buy a lot of cattle!
Rogge had inquired with old Jarl and learned that the wages were considered high in Fieldsway, a relatively loose alliance of city-states.
After the approximately forty-day conscription period each year, civilians...
If the lord wants to continue recruiting them, he must pay them wages.
A first-tier basic conscripted militiaman often earns only one dinar silver coin a week!
More than four hundred dinars—this was a huge fortune that Gold and his companion never even dared to dream of!
The two were overjoyed, but while Roger was all smiles, he felt uneasy inside.
The news that their blacksmith shop possessed a large number of denars had probably already spread throughout the entire village of Duanpo!
This is something that can't be hidden!
In this Broken Po Village, this is an absolute fortune that would make anyone envious!
Virgil quickly calmed down: "This amount of money is too conspicuous!"
"The three of us outsiders have made so much money all at once; it's hard to guarantee that no one will have any ulterior motives."
Roger nodded, the smile on his face gradually fading.
"Money cannot be kept; it must be converted into strength as soon as possible!"
Starting tomorrow, in addition to fulfilling our orders, we also need to purchase some meat and grain!
Nothing offers a better return on investment than investing in yourself.
At that moment, Roger wondered if it was time to recruit some people.
Without a sufficient number of men, it would be impossible to make a single step into this wilderness teeming with bandits and thugs.
But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, Roger immediately realized a very real problem...
